I was cleaning out a closet tonight and found a couple of proof sets I didn't realize I still had. I used to buy these from the mints back in the day, found this 1981 East Caribbean States, I think the mintage was only around 5,000, also a 1981 Iceland set, and a 1971 India set with a mintage of around 4,200.

Here's the dollar and quarter, still in the original cases so a little difficult to photograph correctly. Both of these have some very light wavy light red toning on them that make them very attractive.
